No matter what one's political affiliation may be or what your personal stance is on the wars our country finds itself in, my wish is that all Americans, regardless of race, gender, religion can remember every single day that our freedom is not free. It comes with a price that not all of us must pay.
There are certain people that rise up and say, "I will pay this price for you. I will put my life on the line for you and for what is right." They do it so that we don't have to. They do it, not ... Continue reading ...
Ahhhhh, randomness. Embrace it. You know you love it.

Or get on the phone.
Or apply the hair dye.
Why is it that when a neighbor is mowing their grass it is almost mandatory that you say "You can mow mine next!" and then the two of you laugh like it's the first time anyone's ever made that joke?
Why do you always feel like you forgot something until the day you did leave the iron on? Were you forgetting to leave it ... Continue reading ...

Recipes
I think that one of the best compliments when it comes to cooking is for people to be so full at the end of the meal that they just want to change into sweats and take a nap. If 0007 is so busy stuffing his face that he can't comment on the meal, I know I did good.
I've been asked to share some of my recipes. I can do that.
But, we'll need to start with a few disclaimers.
*I very rarely have good measurements for my recipes. "Shit load", "dash", "just a tad", "crap ton", are some of my measure... Continue reading ...
Rules? Yep, there are rules. Share 7 things and give it to 7 peeps.
Alrighty. Here we go.
1. When I was in fourth grade I was getting teased by a mean little snot who was calling me short all the time. I wasn't quite the quick wit back then that I am today. I turned to my daddy. In his infinite wisdom, he told me to tell the little d-bag that "I'd rather be short and smart than ta... Continue reading ...

Happy Friday to y'all!
I just realized, as I'm watching tv while posting this, that I feel smarter when I watch Jeopardy than I do when I watch Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader.
There's your random fact about me for the day.
And here's your vlog from me for the day!
Make sure you head over to Mama M's bliggity blog and check out 5 Question Friday every week!
My friend Janae has started a beautiful project, called In My Daughter's Eyes. As part of the project she has been asking women to write a letter to the 12 year old version of themselves. As soon as I saw it, I loved the idea. Oh, what I would tell that little girl! I've procrastinated and thought on this for a while and finally am joining in. I urge all my readers to join Janae and her beautiful project.
Dear Robin,
The next ten years of your life are going to go by fast and the ten after that... Continue reading ...
I know I don't get serious here very often. I've got some stuff I need to write about and if you'll bear with me, we'll get back to regularly scheduled light-heartedness soon!
Mother's Day is hard for me.
My biological mother is a homeless drug addict and I haven't talked to the "normal" her since Mother's Day 2007. It's so weird to just lay it out there like that. It makes it more surreal.
When I was a kid, I thought my mother was amazing. She was always the height of fashion, very hip, gave gr... Continue reading ...
My sweet friend, Mama M, is having a little shindig this week called Mother's Day Mania. For the rest of the week, over at My Little Life, it's all about Motherhood and celebrating the good, the bad and the sometimes ugly (you know, greasy hair, three day old mascara, undereye luggage and the rest of it!)
Today's theme is "Whoopsie Wednesday" where we...er...um...celebrate the "whoopsie" moments of Motherhood.
Ah, nothing like admitting that huge mistake to bring moms together! Really though,... Continue reading ...
I woke up and 0007 was still home, leading me to think that maybe he didn't have to go to work. As much as I knew he needed to work, being sick all week had worn me down and made me somewhat selfish and I wanted him home.
But, he did indeed have to go to work.
So, I got upset. He got upset back. We were both upset.
A few hours later I realized what day it was. "How terrible to fight with him on our anniversary and not even tell... Continue reading ...
